Default Great Time Of Year To Ride In Florida

Ah, the humidity and the oppressive heat finally breaks and I can get out and ride without feeling like I'm under the broiler.

Heading to Daytona for Biketoberfest and then back home for the Thunder Beach Fall Rally.

How about you?

This last month has been ridiculous, like being in a steambath. Was out for a ride in the Naples area yesterday-not too bad, considering I was full ATGATT. MUCH better this evening!

Heading back to NJ this week, good riding in the Pine Barrens this time of year!

Finally cooler weather! Don't know if I'll make it to Biketoberfest this year. Been plenty of times though.

Yes indeed, We usually take a week long road trip the first week of Oct. for our anniversary. Spent last week riding around Appalachicola Forest, Port St. Joe, And Destin,Was awesome, Not so humid, No traffic. A little bit windy (Thanks to hurricane Mathew)

Cooler is great for riding, but I love the steamy hot Florida Summer weather. Only reason I live in this hellhole of a state.

Based on the weather this year (heat), shoveling snow has never been so appealing. I've lived here off and on since the early 70's and definitely need a change.
